We really enjoyed this experience. The family was warm and inviting and we learned so much. We enjoyed dancing with them and participating in their customs. A life-changing experience. And I got some beautiful hand-made jewelry. I loved this experience. They also took great photos which they shared with us.

My husband and I could not be more impressed with our experience. Alex, Mary and Solomon really made us feel like family. Our visit to the Maasai was so personal and we thoroughly enjoyed our time speaking with Daniel and his family. We truly enjoyed every minute of our experience.

Today some of us went to Go Granny Go a program sponsored by One Horizon Africa that helps pull families out of poverty. They give him impoverished African grandmothers opportunities to support themselves. The Go Granny Go program sets up grandmothers supporting their grandchildren as pig farmers. One of the stories that was told by Rosemary is that the most money she had ever had in her life at one time was $10. Through the Go Granny Go program she was able to sell two pregnant pigs and get $800. She was able to fix up her home get beds for her grandchildren and get electricity and running water which she never had before.

We got to visit a family of Masai outside Nairobi, who were repairing their manyattas. We were picked up at our hotel by two lovely staff of One Horizon, Solomon and Mary. We enjoyed their company and talking politics as we were given a lift to the village. When we arrived, we met one of the founders, Reesa and Daniel (family). We were given a warm welcome and it was clear that Colin and the family have a lot of respect for each other. After walking to the village, they performed a traditional dance and got us involved, which was good fun. Then we tried to help with the manyattas (emphasis on tried). Manyatta building is a skill and it took us a while to learn to apply the mud without if falling off later. Still, there was a lot of laughter and we enjoyed it immensely. We also spent a good amount of time talking and learning about the differences between Masai and UK culture, some of the uses of different plants and how things have changed for Daniel and his family, they are great people. Before we left, we bought some hand made jewellery and a belt, which we felt was fairly priced. It felt like we had really made some friends by the time we were done and both of us were sad to leave. We will definitely pay another visit if we are ever back in Nairobi. It was such an enriching experience and a day we will always remember. After we drove back, Mary and Solomon drove us to some curio shops, so we could pick up a few souvenirs, as it was the second to last day of the holiday. They were very kind to do this, as they did not have to. We felt so welcomed by everyone involved and honestly had the best day.

A Unique and Special Experience We Will Treasure!

Truly a heart warming experience with a Masai Family who opened up their home, culture and tradition

Truly a heart warming experience with a Masai Family who opened up their home, culture and traditions to us. Giving us insights to the way they live and also the changes to their traditions due to modern times. We spent Christmas with them and also got the chance to share with them some of our culture and traditions. It was a well planned day and everything went smoothly. Our tour hosts Mary & Solomon picked us up on time and were so friendly and down to earth. The Masai family was amazing and had loads of stories to share with us and lots of activities to do together. I would recommend this experience to everyone who likes to have interaction , participation and engagement!

Heartfelt inspiring experience

My most warm thank you to the One Horizon team. Not only for incredible work and the positive change

My most warm thank you to the One Horizon team. Not only for incredible work and the positive change I could witness in the grammas lives but also for the open and fast communication with Colin from the start to the end. The effort to make me feel comfortable, welcome and at home by the guides Mary and Solomon was remarkable. My whole experience in Kenya started with the One Horizon and as a solo traveler not knowing what to expect, I received way beyond what I could ever wish a day full of love, music, gratitude, good energy, fresh made food, exchange of experience and heartbreaking life stories. The work done by the Living Positively Women’s Empowerment Center is inspiring and touched deeply my heart. If you ever have the possibility I highly recommend this experience because wont only change your way of seeing life but directly empower women and help them to improve their family lives.
